Cleansed my harddrive from that game soon after I saved that vampire hunter guy.

What's the distinction between crazy and dumb?

What I mean by that is that at first stuff was just crazy much exaggerated, but in context of a story that somehow made sense. There was the other gangs trying to conquer the Saint streets, there was the federal anti-gang group fighting against the gangs , etc. and then shit just exploded into complete nonsense. From saving a sex maniac with a singing synthesizer as a voice to a moron who plays a vampire that hunts vampires, and then shortly after it turns into a World of Tanks with just allot explosions bullshit.

It turned from crazy but funny into.. granted, crazy but dumb.

Fair enough. I guess I just didn't care because I was never playing the game for story in the first place. I'm glad they aren't trying to be pretentious in any way. The GTA series has that covered pretty well these days.

It's probably the closest we'll ever get to a real Supreme Commander sequel. Hopefully it will be even better, as SC never really seemed to reach its full potential before being somewhat lobotomized into just another RTS.

You can't compare that "top sellers" tab on the store page to this weekly list, though. Even though it's not specific, these are hard figures (ranked by revenue in a set period of time), whereas with the "top sellers" thing, we have no idea whether that's by revenue or quantity or some kind of trend... It's definitely a very, very short period of time (one day or even a few hours) because of how quickly new releases can show up there.

Oh I know, I've pointed out similar things before

I agree though, impressive to show up at #8 overall especially since it was a couple days out of the week.

Just imagine where it'd be on this list at a more reasonable price. Probably #1.

You can order the different levels on their site. The steam price will drop as each pre-order level becomes active. Currently it is in Alpha, which is $90. It should go into Beta in a couple of months. At that time, it will drop to $60 on Steam. One the game goes gold, Steam price will drop to $40.

And it wasn't even a whole week, Planetary Annihilation only became available on Thurdsay. So like 2 1/2 days.

I just picked up Prison Architect at full price, so I wouldn't have time to play KSP anytime soon. Do you all think 33% off is the best we will see, or you think it will go lower during the summer sale?

I honestly don't think it go lower than $15 for a while. It's worth every penny and more at $23.
